What are you training in/for?

I work for Head Start and every year before we get kids, we have two weeks of training ( new info and stuff) and one week of home visits

You'll have to explain Head Start to me. I'm Aussie...

It's preschool for low income children, parent's don't have to pay anything as long as they don't make too much money.

One of the things I did on the mainland was get my new glasses checked. They have been driving me nutty with glare on the lenses & a blur where the rims are. I've never had an issue before & I do so much close up work my eyes are tiring really, really fast. The bad news is I'm on quite a high script ~ = thick lenses. The answer is to take my glasses away & replace the lenses with thinner ones ~ @ a cost. I guess I'm reverting to my old specs while I wait!

And my Aussie mates: has any one else had bandicoot issues? I found one in the coop the other night & he's a big brute of a beast who has worked out how the treadle feeder works. I think I've blocked him for the time being but they are great burrowers & I never considered bandicoots as they've never been interested in the chooks before.

I need to google bandicoot now. This thread is so educational!

lol They're a big rodent ~ rather like a huge rat with a long pointy nose. Unfortunately they're one of the biggest carriers & spreaders of ticks.

No bandicoots in my neck of the woods. I've never even seen one in the wild. Huh, it never occured to me that bandicoots might be a pest. Possums though, I'm ready for possums.
